Public Meeting: Latin America: 500 Years of Resistance

Monday 11th October 2010 -

19:30 – 21:30

Latin America today is at the forefront of the struggle against economic and political domination in the globalised world. The struggle has never ceased. During the past 518 years the indigenous peoples of the continent have been fighting for their land and their cultural identity. Recently, the first ever indigenous President was elected in …Bolivia, a country that achieved independence and was named after its liberator, Simon Bolivar, who, nearly 200 years ago, envisioned a united continent free from foreign domination. This event will celebrate the spirit of resistance of its indigenous people, as represented by the current struggle of the Mapuche in Chile, and the legacy of the ideas of Bolivar for the 21st century.
